Hi! Could anyone recommend a desktop that will be compatible with the GTX 1050 ti? Preferably under $350. It can be a refurb, I don't mind.
 
Solution
1.) If you don't have the FTW I'd try and get this Dell system with a 4th-gen i5 for $359 - https://www.dellrefurbished.com/desktop-computers/dell-optiplex-3020-98296.html

or

2.) HP 6200 Pro PC Intel i5-2400 3.10GHz, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, Windows 7 Pro for $92.99 - https://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-6200-Pro-PC-Intel-i5-2400-3-10GHz-8GB-RAM-1TB-HDD-Windows-7-Pro/232747636564?hash=item3630d71754:g:EnsAAOSwvyNa4iPo


3.) With a budget of $350 you're actually coming close to affording your own custom build. No OS included though.

There's at least four different EVGA 1050 Ti. Which one do you have? https://www.evga.com/products/productlist.aspx?type=0&family=GeForce+10+Series+Family&chipset=GTX+1050+Ti

The FTW seems to be the only one that requires extra power form a 6-pin PCIe power connector. If you don't have the FTW your options will be wider in choosing a system with a stock PSU. But even then, maybe we can find a decent desktop and PSU you can afford for $350. It will be a used system though unless you can find a good deal on a discounted Dell or something.
